Water Glass
August 12, 2014
okay, okay
I don't need writing to
live.
i can fill my life with second-best things
second-hand things
like friends and
steaming cups of tea and
long strolls in the park and
books.
but it's like filling a glass meant
for crystal clear water
with cloudy milk or
iced tea, not quite
what I need to see through
the other side of the glass
to probe at the mysteries
of life.
